Venice

4 cities, 4 countries, 5 days

This portion of the trip was by far the most rushed part. Some cities were only visited for a few hours, or one day. Plus, we spent more time swimming in rivers and, in my case, battling a wicked hangover (only one of the trip!), and then eating a half kilo of cherries to recover. Therefore, I consider these pics to be the 'quirky' ones, as opposed to the more artistic ones from italy that are up next.

Amsterdam, Netherlands


one street over from our 'hood', the red light district, where no pictures are allowed



Brussels, Belgium




mother of pearl these were good

Munich, Germany

this is the river that we swam in at Englisch park. It was terrifying.




brian's head bobbing, as I nerdily ran to catch up with my camera




about 10 minutes after this picture was taken, this man--who was on his honeymoon--started a fight that would land him in the hospital. I believe he was from Cino, the same town as Ryan from the OC

Bern, Switzerland


switzerland was by far the cleanest, most polite and most organized country we visited




the river aare = great for swimming

Oh oh oh paris

As I'm certain I've mentioned, Paris was my favourite city by far. Take a little look, and you will quickly discover why it enamoured me. (Plus it has a massive Sephora).
